THE TREATMENT FOR IRLEN SYNDROME

The treatment for Irlen Syndrome is NOT a programme but IS a method to help visual processing dysfunction. Many critics of Irlen suggest that if a child is diagnosed with Irlen Syndrome and provided Irlen lenses, it somehow removes the possibility of them ever taking advantage of the special education programmes that are provided in schools. This is not the case. These children sometimes still need that specialist education to help them to "catch up" on what they have missed out on in their earlier years.
